We bought a new minivan to replace an aging 1999 Ford Windstar and we chose a 2014 Honda Odyssey because it was the only minivan to pass the IIHS "small offset" crash test. [iihs.org]. Further, as a happy surprise, the gas mileage computer showed 34.5 mpg at the end of a 180-mile trip from New York to Massachusetts. Sure, it gets 17-20 mpg in cold-engine short-trip driving but when it really counts the Honda equals the long-trip mileage of our 2001 VW sedan. Amazing.
